During their decline period from 1342 to 1790, the Order was split by the dissensions of those who countenanced abuses and the reformers who rose to combat them. The result was the division into Common Observance and Strict Observance, but the latter was prevented from forming an independent Order by the Bull of Alexander VII in 1666. Since 1892, however, they have been distinct and autonomous. The Reformation overthrew the monasteries in England, and the French Revolution further reduced the order to mere remnants of its former prestige. For restoration and further history of the Strict Observance, see also Trappists.
